"What will come will come, no matter what, it can't be avoided. Moreover, do you think that by letting these Dongyi go, the immortals and gods in the sky won't target Great Shang?”
At this point, Di Xin smiled and Kong Xuan frowned.
Patting Kong Xuan's shoulder, Di Xin said calmly,""Don't worry, there's no need to think so much. Great Shang isn't as weak as you think. When the time comes, it's still unknown who will take the calamity.”
After that, Di Xin didn't say anything. Kong Xuan looked at Di Xin deeply. Some thoughts flashed through her mind, but she didn't say them out loud.
Without the help of the Western Religious Sect, the Dongyi tribe would not be able to stop Great Shang's army. Moreover, there were two Primordial Unity Golden Immortals who were invincible in the same realm.
Thus, in just an hour, the battle had completely ended.
A large number of Dongyi soldiers died, dying the border red. Over 30,000 people were captured by the Great Shang army.
However, Great Shang's losses were not small either.
After all, the Dongyi tribe had hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Although they had been beaten to the point of collapse, they were still brave in the face of a life and death crisis.
Therefore, the counterattack before death had also caused the deaths of tens of thousands of people.
Soon, Xiang Yu and Bai Qi arrived in front of Xu Yang.
Great Shang's army also sent back batch after batch of captives.
"Great King, what should we do with these captives?”
Bai Qi's voice rang out. Di Xin glanced at him and fell silent for a while before saying,"Kill them."
These three words were so light that they decided the deaths of tens of thousands of people.
Kong Xuan's body trembled. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she didn't say anything in the end.
As for Baiqi and Xiangyu, they would not question Di Xin's orders.
Moreover, it was just killing prisoners. It was not like they had never done it before.
After giving his orders, Di Xin didn't stay on the battlefield any longer. He turned around and rode back to Boulder City.
Kong Xuan and Xiangyu quickly followed him. The three of them were speechless along the way.
Not long after they left, screams and curses suddenly came from behind them. The space could even clearly feel a strong resentment gathering behind them.
Immediately, Kong Xuan couldn't help but ask,""Your Majesty, since those soldiers have already surrendered, why kill them?”
The reason why Kong Xuan asked this question was not because he was kind-hearted, but because he felt that it was unnecessary.
Hearing this, Di Xin, who had nothing to do, didn't mind explaining.
"The four barbarians are like a disease of moss. When they are weak, they submit to Great Shang, but when they become strong, they send troops to attack.”
"Normally, I might be interested in playing with them, but as you said, the great calamity is coming and it could erupt at any time. Thus, in order to prevent them from stabbing me, I have decided to bring the four barbarians under Great Shang's rule.”
"In that case, the existence of these soldiers is a hindrance to Great Shang. I don't have enough food to feed them, so I might as well settle this once and for all.”
King Xin said casually, and Kong Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
As a great demon, the survival of the fittest had long been integrated into his blood and bones.
The reason why he had to ask was because he was worried that Di Xin was bloodthirsty.
Now, since Di Xin had his own plan, Kong Xuan naturally wouldn't refute him.
Nothing happened along the way, and the three of them returned to Boulder City smoothly.
After sending Kong Xuan off to rest, Di Xin asked Xiang Yu to stay behind, leaving only the two of them in the commander's tent.
Although Di Xin had told them the reason for killing the captives, he had hidden part of it.
The reason why he insisted on bringing the four barbarians into Great Shang's territory was to increase the country's fate.
However, as the saying went, one or two would be killed. It was not easy for him to come out. How could a mere Dongyi satisfy Emperor Xin's appetite?
Other than the Dongyi clan, there was one more person who had to die. He was Marquis Dong Bo, Jiang Hengchu!
As one of the four dukes, Jiang Hengchu's territory was definitely not small. The territory he occupied was one-tenth the size of Great Shang.
It was like a country within a country. In fact, these people didn't even provide the country's fate for Great Shang. If Emperor Xin wanted to quickly increase his strength, he would have to use his troops to deal with the 800 vassals.
However, the 800 vassals were still under Great Shang's command.
Therefore, if he wanted to touch them, he had to have a good reason. Otherwise, it would definitely cause a violent rebound.
However, things were different now. Emperor Xin had wiped out the Dongyi army, leaving no survivors. Would the Dongyi army be satisfied?
According to normal people's thoughts, they naturally wouldn't let it go.
However, their army had already been defeated. It was simply wishful thinking to turn the tables.
Thus, the only way to take revenge on Great Shang was to make someone with enough power pay the price.
Although Di Xin was the mastermind behind this battle, no matter how he was implicated, it was impossible for him to be implicated.
Otherwise, if they angered Emperor Xin, the Dongyi might be exterminated.
As a result, there were fewer targets to choose from in Boulder City.
Other than Di Xin, the most precious person in Boulder City was Marquis Dong Bo, Jiang Hengchu.
On this trip to the border, apart from dealing with Dongyi, Di Xin had another goal, which was to completely merge Jiang Hengchu's territory into Great Shang.
In this way, Jiang Hengchu's existence became an obstacle that had to be eliminated!
Thinking of this, Di Xin looked at the silent Xiang Yu and ordered,""Find a way to kill Jiang Hengchu and frame the Dongyi clan. Don't give yourself away.”
"If possible, don't leave a single one of Jiang Hengchu's people alive!"
As he spoke, Di Xin observed Xiangyu's reaction. Xiangyu nodded without hesitation.
"Here!"
After making his decision, Xiangyu left the tent quickly. Di Xin sat in his seat and watched Xiangyu's back as he left, his eyes sparkling.
The 800 vassals rebelling against the Shang Dynasty was almost destined because only when the 800 vassals united could they resist Great Shang.
Thus, regardless of whether Marquis Dong Bo wanted to fight or not, once things had developed to such a stage, everything was no longer up to him.
Therefore, it was better to strike first than to suffer later.
Once the plan succeeded, he could blame Dongyi or the Western Religious Sect for it.
Adding on the prestige that Di Xin had accumulated over this period of time, as long as Jiang Hengchu was no longer around, Di Xin would be able to take down all of Marquis Dong Bo's territories without bloodshed.
After Xiang Yu left the commander's tent, he headed straight for Boulder City.
Although Xiang Yu was a fierce general on the battlefield, it did not mean that he did not have other abilities.
Therefore, when he arrived at the gate of the Jiang Family, Xiangyu's figure flashed and he completely disappeared.
